The corpus contains video files of Czech Television News Broadcasts and JSON files with annotations of faces that appear in the broadcasts. The annotations are composed of frames in which a face is seen, name of the person whose face is seen, gender of the person (male/female), and the image region containing the face. The intended use of the corpus is to train models of faces for face detection, face identification, face verification, and face tracking. For convinience two different JSON files are provided. They contain the same data, but in different arrangements. One file has the identity of the person on the top, the other has the object ID on the top, where the object is a facetrack. A demo python skript is available for showing how to access the data.
The EBUContentGenre is a thesaurus containing the hierarchical description of various genres utilized in the TV broadcasting industry. This thesaurus is a part of a complex metadata specification called EBUCore intended for multifaceted description of audiovisual content. EBUCore (http://tech.ebu.ch/docs/tech/tech3293v1_3.pdf) is a set of descriptive and technical metadata based on the Dublin Core and adapted to media. EBUCore is the flagship metadata specification of European Broadcasting Union, the largest professional association of broadcasters around the world. It is developed and maintained by EBU's Technical Department (http://tech.ebu.ch). The translated thesaurus can be used for effective cataloguing of (mostly TV) audiovisual content and consequent development of systems for automatic cataloguing (topic/genre detection). and Technology Agency of the Czech Republic, project No. TA01011264
